It's only fog

Well, what an interesting week. Some snow, some rain, some fog, some cold. Heck, we even had some sun and warm temps for a while too. We certainly have a wide range of weather options in lovely Calgary, but luckily we did not face what many of our friends faced this week. Good luck to all of you off to New York to trot the New York Marathon. I know there was devastation but the city is opening its arms to welcome the ~40,000 runners, walkers, and wheelchairs that will cover 42.2 on Sunday. So who is off to NYC for the weekend???

For those that chose Calgary over New York (it's true!), why don't we meet at Mount Pleasant Arena for a lovely meander through Confederation Park. This is on 23 Avenue and 6 Street NW. When you smell Calgary's first McDonald's restaurant, you are only a block away! See you in the arena at 9 am. Breakfast at 4th Spot to follow.

I hear that our Lausanne Marathon crew had a great time last weekend. I searched the site for some good photos and found a few to share. Well done to the entire team from Alberta. I only got to meet some of you briefly on your training but I am still proud of the accomplishment. In all there were 37 Joints in Motion participants who raised $260K for the cause. 17 of them were 'repeat offenders' (like Barb below) who have raised $400K and done 80 events for JIM! Well done all!!!

So my friend April has once again called out to join her for the annual Amble With Angus. Angus was my first marathon coach and is a wonderful guy. Please check out his event if you can. You can never get lost with Angus...or was it you will never know where you are??? Hmmm.

Good Monday morning Reindeer and potential new reindeer recruits, please save the date!  I hope to be up and running by then, but if not I will just amble or prance J

Let me know if you are a go….

Cheers

April

And finally, the boys at work have decided to get into the fundraising groove ourselves and start our own Growvember fundraiser. 

We have created a webpage for our “GROWvember” event for research on curing various types of cancer which effects men and women.  

The premise behind “GROWvember” is that we will put away the razor for the month of November and grow “unique” facial hair, be it a stache, beard, goatee, or side burns, just grow…let’s try and grow something other then what you would typically wear.
